The Rundown:

• Carlos Rodon was brilliant against the St. Louis Cardinals as he sequenced his fastball, changeup, and slider well for 7.1 scoreless innings. We ponder if the changeup will be the difference between a very good Carlos Rodon, and future All-Star Carlos Rodon. 
• Dylan Covey didn't have anything near the success Rodon did. Should Sox fans begin to lose hope that Covey can't hold up as a starting pitcher?
• The DL list continues to pile up for the Sox with Micker Adolfo and now Miguel Gonzalez out with surgeries.
